Demonstration, organization, elaboration, practice
Students will watch a demonstration of how to navigate to and create an Edmodo account.
Students will then be allowed to attempt to create their own page. Students will be encouraged to find similarities in creating their Edmodo account and creating other accounts such as email and Facebook.
Instruct students in creating a personal Edmodo account and link it to their instructor account using the groups feature of the program.
Demonstration, organization, elaboration, practice
Students will watch a brief instructional video showing them how to create groups in their account, and instruct them on how to advise their students to sign up and link their accounts to their instructor.
After watching the demonstration the instructor will reinforce what was shown on the demonstration by modeling the directions for the students to see. Students will then attempt to set up a student account themselves using either an alternate email of their own or one of their students’ email addresses, or classroom peers may chose to work together and add each other.
Instruct parents in creating a personal Edmodo account either by directly logging in through a student account or creating their own account that is linked to a student’s account
Demonstration, organization, elaboration, practice
Students will watch a brief instructional video showing them how to navigate through Edmodo and find student parent codes so they are able to provide them to parents who would like to monitor their child’s account on Edmodo. The instructor will then model how a parent would log in and using the information provided by their child’s instructor to link to their child’s account.
After watching the instructional video, students will retrieve on their own the list of student codes for the students they added in the previous step of adding students. (After all students have completed this step the instructor will then model a parent log in.) Students will then be allowed to work together or alone to add “parents” to their accounts. To do this students will have the option of working together to become parents for each other, use an alternate email of their own if it, or use actual parent emails of the students you added in the previous step, if they have permission since Edmodo does not ask for detailed personal information to create an account only a parent code for verification.
Communicate with students by posting messages in Edmodo.
Demonstration, organization, elaboration, practice
Before watching instruction, students will be asked to look for similarities between the interface of Edmodo and other social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+. Using their observations, students will be asked to hypothesize how they Edmodo think they will be posting an announcement to the program.
After sharing some of their predictions the instructor will allow them to test their predictions. Students that post correctly without traditional instruction will be allowed to practice posting further. Students that were unable to post accurately will be shown how to post by the instructor and allowed to practice posting further.
Create and have assignments graded by using Edmodo.
Demonstration, organization, elaboration, practice
Students will watch an instructional video outlining how to create and grade assignments using Edmodo.
Students will create their own assignments using the Edmodo program. Afterwards they will pair with another student and using the practice student account they created previously, they will take each other’s assignments to allow them to practice with the program from both the student and the instructor aspect of the program.
Add assignments and events to a calendar in the Edmodo program.
Demonstration, organization, elaboration, practice
Before watching instruction, students will be asked to look for similarities between the interface of Edmodo and other social media such as Facebook, school-provided web pages, or email accounts. Using their observations, students will be asked to hypothesize how they Edmodo think they will be posting an event/ assignment to the calendar in the program.
After sharing some of their predictions the instructor will allow them to test their predictions. Students that are able to add an event correctly without instruction will be allowed to practice adding more events. Students who were unable to successfully add an event will be shown how to post by the instructor and allowed to practice posting further in either a whole group or one on one setting depending on the number of students that need assistance.
*Note* For all steps during instruction, students will be allowed to take notes to refer back to during the training process or after the training as ended.
